ATOMIC POWER FOR HK PROSPECTS

Designing Plants Polishing Boot Polish Tins
HK ELECTRIC CO INTERESTED
By A STAFF CORRESPONDENT
Leading British industrial concerns are designing atomic power plants for use in places like Hongkong.
A Hongkong representative of one British firm told me yesterday: “Designs for plants which can be used in places like Hongkong, Borneo and Malaya are well forward.”
Yesterday, the Hongkong Electric Co. Chairman, Mr B. T. Flanagan disclosed that the management "was actively considering the impact on the industry of developments in generation using fissionable material as steam-raising medium."
a
He went on to say: "It appears that atomic power stations will be an economic possibility within the next 10 to 15 years, and it is obvious even at the present time that the economic advantages which will accrue are very consider- able, especially in a torritory such as Hongkong, depdendent solely on imported fuel."

After Polishing Boots
London, Mar. 1.
The British War Minister, Mr Antony Head, today an- nounced a civilian inquiry into "humdrum" and "menial" military practices like whitewashing coal so it can be seen in the dark.
Mr Head admilled that many practices in the military weto carried on today because of tradition only and "do not
make sense." Among the other practices scheduled for reform: Pelishing the sole af military boots as well as the tops. Polishing of boot polish tins after polishing the boots. Bedmaking. This "could well be dono in more in the civilian manner." Mr Head said.
A three-man civilian comfalttee will inquire into humdrum Jobs, menial jobs, and the waste of time by servicemen.
Mr Head sald the Government and the Ministry of Defence agreed the inquiry was justifled-United Press.

POLICE BULLETS SLAY KILLER AND KIDNAPPER
New York, Mar. 1.
State police bullets early today ended the brief rampage of a New England tough who killed a police. man and kidnapped a nurse but could not bend the spirit of her young son.
At the finish, 12-year-old Johnny Herrington had the desperado's gun. He also had drawn first blood from the fugitive and was undisputed hero of ↑ 12-hour chase through eastern Georgia.
